Description
Using discarded water bags that have been sanitized, Kenneth Gyang sews them into bands that will be woven into items that can be sold for a profit. This work is part of Home Makers' newest project, Weave of Hope. This project pays displaced women to collect single-serving plastic water bags, used like water bottles, which people throw away. Then, youth who struggle with drug addiction and have received instruction and Bible studies through Home Makers, clean and weave together the plastic to make purses, wallets and other items for sale.
